Taylor Swift Wiki

"Tonight" (a.k.a. "VMA Side Story") is an unreleased song by American singer and songwriter Taylor Swift, feat. Katy Perry, Cobra Starship, Russell Brand and Ne-Yo. It originally is a 1956 song from the musical West Side Story with music written by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.[1] Taylor Swift tapped into her Broadway beginnings for her 2009 MTV VMA West Side Story TV promo spot with other musicians, which both spoofs and honors the September 13th award show's return to New York City.[2][3][4][5][6]

Lyrics[]

Only you, you're the only thing I'll see forever
In my eyes, in my words and in everything I do
Nothing else but you ever

And there's nothing for me but Maria
Every sight that I see is Maria

Tony, Tony

Always you, every thought I'll ever know
Everywhere I go you'll be, you and me

Tonight, tonight, it all began tonight
I saw you and the world went away
Tonight, tonight, there's only you tonight
What you are, what you do, what you say

Today all day I had the feeling a miracle would happen
I know now I was right
For here you are and what was just a world is a star tonight

Tonight, tonight, the world is full of light
With suns and moons all over the place
Tonight, tonight the world is wild and bright
Going mad, shooting sparks into space

Today the world was just an address
A place for me to live in
No better than all right
But here you are and what was just a world is a star tonight

Tonight, tonight, it all began tonight
I saw you and the world went away

I cannot stay, go quickly, no
Yes, they are strict with me please, good night
Buenos notches, buenos notches
I love you, yes, yes hurry

Wait, when will I see you again?
Tomorrow?
I work at the bridal shop, come there
At sundown, yes go

Tony, shh
Come through the back door
Si
Tony, what does Tony stand for?
Anton

Te adoro, Anton
Te adoro, Maria

Good night, good night, sleep well
And when you dream, dream of me tonight
